Title: Issues With Females

Summary: When resting in a small town, Gojyo encounters a strange woman. Somehow a spell is cast on him turning him into a woman. He only has until the next full moon to reverse the curse before it becomes permanent.

A/N: I'm going to be gone for four weeks. I will write a couple chapters and have them posted up when I get back. I'm also probably going to start another story I've been thinking about, so we'll see how much I will get done. Thanks for the reviews thus far. Sorry about all the long delays.

Chapter 5: A Little Morning Surprise

The sun rose steadily in the sky, flooding the bedroom in a soft, morning light. It cast a pleasant glow over the off-white walls and the white, lacey bedspread. The birds rose with sun and began their early morning songs. It was like they were calling the world to wake up and greet the beautiful day. And it truly was a beautiful day. Not a cloud was in the sky. There was a slight breeze to keep the temperature at a cool down. It seemed like there wouldn't be a care in the world from anyone. Everything was going to be perfect.

Gojyo slowly and tiredly opened her eyes to the sunlight stretching across his face. She smiled and stretched out. It had been a very peaceful night and it was always good to wake up to a nice, calm day. It gave a sort of radiance of good energy that would hopefully rub off throughout the day. And that, to Gojyo, was the best that could ever be. Once done stretching and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she looked over at Marlene, who was still asleep next to her. Marlene looked as peaceful as she did last night.

"Well, time to get up." Gojyo hoisted herself up then swung her legs over the side of the bed. She was scratching her lower back lazily when she first noticed the small stain of blood she was sitting in. Gojyo's first reaction was to check and make sure that the blood wasn't from Marlene. She threw back the white covers, causing the other girl to stir in her sleep. Looking her up and down, which would have been a perk for Gojyo if she hadn't been so concerned, she couldn't find any wound or injury the blood could have come from.

"What the hell is going on?" she asked aloud to herself. Slowly her eyes went wide and she looked down. There were some blood stains on her borrowed nightgown. Gojyo opened her mouth and let out a long, loud scream, waking up everyone in the house. Marlene sat straight up, quickly. She looked over at Gojyo in worried confusion, waiting for the woman to stop screaming. As the screams slowly subsided, Gojyo just stared straight ahead with a very scared look on her face. It looked as if she might faint, but she didn't.

"What's wrong?" Marlene asked. Just then the door swung open and everyone else rushed in. They all had worried expressions, too. All of them piled into the room around Gojyo, who still stared ahead motionless and silently.

"What is it? What happened?" they asked in unison.

"I don't know. I just asked her." Everyone then turned their gaze on Gojyo and waited for a reply. It was silent for a little while, like she was trying to say, but couldn't find the words. But as sound finally came out of her mouth, everyone was deadly silent and even leaned in a little to listen.

"I-I found blood when I woke up and t-thought it might be from Marlene. But it w-wasn't." Gojyo stopped, her mouth hanging open a little.

"Go on. What was the blood from?"

Gojyo's eyes went wider, if that was even possible. "M-M-Me!" She turned white and fell back onto the bed, fainted. Sanzo, Goku, Hakkai, and Marlene's father all paused a moment then blushed profusely. Slowly, they inched out of the room and into the hall. Apparently it was women issues. They didn't want to be around then. It would just be awkward.

Marlene and her mother both watched the men leave with small smiles on their faces. "Go get me some water, my dear." Marlene left the room to fill a small bowl of water, while her mother sat down next to Gojyo. Once back with the water, Marlene's mother took it from her daughter and splashed some onto their guest's face. Slowly, after a little while, Gojyo started coming to. However, she didn't forget anything in her brief phase of unconsciousness. She was still just as frightened as she had been before fainting.

"Gojya, you don't have to be worried or ashamed of what happened. All females get it. There have even been a few little accidents here and there. Nothing to worry about, dear." Seeing Gojyo's face go a bit more pale, Marlene's mother splashed some more water on the girl's face. "Marlene, please strip the bed and throw the sheets and everything into the laundry. I'll take Gojya to get some things that will help." As Marlene began to remove the bloody sheets from her bed, her mother guided Gojyo into the bathroom and locked the door.

A couple hours later...

Gojyo walked downstairs looking a lot better than she had earlier. Instead of that pink nightgown, she was now in baggy, white sleeveless shirt, which was a bit low cut. She wore a tan skirt stretching close to her knees. She was also given a pair of tan boots, matching the skirt. The nightgown, unfortunately, had to be thrown out. Marlene said it wasn't a big deal, but Gojyo felt very embarrassed and ashamed. For most of the time they had been upstairs, though, Marlene's mother had given her some things to use for this little occurrence and, of course, shown her how to use them.

As she walked down the stairs, Hakkai, Goku, and Sanzo, who were sitting in the family room and could see her descent, all watched the kappa with mouths slightly open in awe. It seemed like this had never been a man to begin with, but a naturally born woman. How had that happened? Gojyo walked slowly into the room, not noticing her friends expressions. Goku grinned viciously as he watched her sit down.

"Did you get everything worked out?"

"Shut up." Gojyo crossed her arms over her chest and side-glared at the Monkey King.

Goku inched closer. "You seemed to have really cleaned up. Is that even some perfume I smell?"

"Listen you little turd, I never asked for any of this. I have no idea what is going on. All I know is that I have to find that damned woman and make her change me back. Until then I'm going to have to live and act as a woman." Gojyo paused. "When we do run into that chick again, I will ask her to let you have a go at this, since you seem so interested."

"Whatever, dude." Goku just smiled and shook his head.

Gojyo growled in frustrated annoyance, mostly at herself. Her comebacks were going, which sucked. It was as if she were really changing into a different person, a different person of the opposite sex. It was all the more reason to leave this place and look for that green-eyed woman.

"Guys, I think it's time to blow this joint. I want to get my original male self back as soon as possible." Within the next few minutes, they had the jeep packed and were heading out of the town.
